Fed up

That would be Brummett, with people who still support the Clintons. He's an Obamaist, apparently. Still defending Obama's effort to reach out to Republicans as the party of ideas the last 10 to 15 years -- without making it clear they were bad ideas. Still defending his outreach to Reagan Democrats by talking about Reagan's reaction to government "excesses" of the 1960s and 1970s. Affirmative action and voting rights, perhaps? The worst thing that Obama did in that regrettable moment with a conservative editorial board was to pander. Caught later on the videotape, he said he didn't mean what he so clearly had said.

Guess I"m just a cultist.

And speaking of cultists, here's another local supporter from the village of the Clinton damned, blinded to the Clintons evil and lacking Brummett's superior judgment of the candidates' policy merits, with video from yesterday's visit.
